I lay my sword down. I listen again and again and...I love it. it is precise, wonderfull and touches my heart emencly.. Sorry for my poor english...I am Norwegian of language...
I think its a lovely piece of music by Handel. I found this piece very helpful because I am trying to learn this song so I can play with WACO2 in Feb. Fantastic! 10 out of 10. (:
And you do know this is Baroque music right? Large dynamic shifts and broad melodic ranges were not something of this era...so although it may 'lack spirit' to you, its just a matter of actually knowing what your listening to...

Nice music Handel here has composed. I think the performance has a lack of spirit and they dont play totally together as can be expected, Just listen to the bass, It is not total ontime with the rest of the orchestra.
@HARMONICO101 I think the Jovomusic is confused by the bass playing on the 2nd beat of the bar. However I don't find it incomprehensible that they would find it lacks spirit. I often find I'm underwhelmed by recordings of british bands, especially the AAM. It just sounds listless and dull - particularly lacking in bass. I don't think it's the musicians themselves, since british bass players are renowned for their energy. I think it's backwards recording techniques and a lot of ambient recordings
@TheCrazyCello ...suffer from a lack of "depth" and end up sounding very flat. Most recordings coming from the continent now sound much more vibrant, with each section or even instrument individually recorded, you get a much more "live" sound than you do with UK recordings. Hyperion is the worst offender for listless and flat production values, but by no means the only label with this problem.
@Jovomusic What the hell are you talking about??!! There is no point to even argue with you. You are obviously new to HIP and listening to baroque music the way it should be played.
@Zordan60 I am listening once again...now with less sence...but more emotion... it is wonderfull. sometime when in other mood, it get another carahcter and color, but i asume it is natural...And I dont need to argue my taste. only performances... and , yes truly I also like this one...
@Jovomusic I guess you are right about listening in different moods, but one thing you can't possibly say is that this performance is lifeless and souless.
BEAUTIFULL, EXCELLENT, GREAT

Do not apologize for your English please. It's better than that of many an American. And Norway is a very interesting country.
United and loyal until the mountains of Dovre crumble. I like that.

@Jovomusic I would have thought if you listened to Baroque music every day you might know how to spell Baroque

What are you talking about? It's perfectly in sync! Maybe the dotted rythm is throwing you off.
I also find it incomprehensible that you think this lacks spirit.
HARMONICO101 2 years ago 11
Agreed. This is one of the best performances of this set out there, IMO - stylish, considered and musical!
@Jovomusic: Perhaps the 'swell' in tone that gut strings produce was what put you off? Listen to the harpsichordist - he's perfectly in time!

@HARMONICO101 Yes, I guess I still think so, I listen to Barock music every day.
I have heard much better performance than this.
Nothing here can throw me of. The first 2 min. is to neglegting beeing played with no soul whatsoever.
